Washington Apple Pi

Retired SIG April 2007 Meeting

By Len Adler

The meeting opened at 1:00 PM with nine members present. Herb Block spoke
about life at Leisure World; with reference to the use of Mac computers.
The Mac Club of Leisure World now has 56 members with prospects of continued
growth. The renovated Club House #2 has a new Computer Learning Center with
two brand new iMacs plus two refurbished iMacs.. Herb talked about
some of common computer problems he has dealt with, from the quick, easy
ones to some requiring complete restoration of the operating system. Leisure
World Mac users love their e-mail. Failures in sending e-mail attachments
were largely reduced as members learned how to identify mail with RTF format
rather than AppleWorks, and to send photos marked jpeg or TIFF.

Retired SIG members gathered at the Pi office.

A member brought to our attention a new venue for reaching radio music-- www.radioroku.com – a
great way to listen to music.
